Oh this is a big question. Within learning by experience or instruction there are many branches of learning.
I personally learn mostly through instruction but also observation of other people's experiences. I love avoiding mistakes this way.
My son loves to learn through reading. He remembers nearly everything he reads and loves explicit instruction.
One daughter has always been a "Me do it!" kind of person. She can't be told anything by family however responds well to teachers and videos. She likes to teach herself stuff. The other daughter is a combo plus of both.
I see so many different approaches in my job but would avoid the word instruction most of the time. I use guidance, facilitation, showing...words that make it sound like a partnership.
JA
